燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要

                

全新四年樂活讀經                                    

 

W3 2013-05-22 (詩篇40-41)
40:1 
(大衛的詩,交與伶長。)我曾耐性等候耶和華;他垂聽我的呼求。

40:2 他從禍坑裡,從淤泥中,把我拉上來,使我的腳立在磐石上,使我腳步穩當。

40:3 他使我口唱新歌,就是讚美我們 神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕,並要倚靠耶和華。

40:4 那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的,這人便為有福!

40:5 耶和華我的 神啊,你所行的奇事,並你向我們所懷的意念甚多,不能向你陳明。若要陳明,其事不可勝數。

40:6 祭物和禮物,你不喜悅;你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。

40:7 那時我說:看哪,我來了!我的事在經卷上已經記載了。

40:8 我的 神啊,我樂意照你的旨意行;你的律法在我心裡。

40:9 我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音;我必不止住我的嘴唇。耶和華啊,這是你所知道的。

40:10 我未曾把你的公義藏在心裡;我已陳明你的信實和你的救恩;我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。

40:11 耶和華啊,求你不要向我止住你的慈悲!願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我!

40:12 因有無數的禍患圍困我,我的罪孽追上了我,使我不能昂首;這罪孽比我的頭髮還多,我就心寒膽戰。

40:13 耶和華啊,求你開恩搭救我!耶和華啊,求你速速幫助我!

40:14 願那些尋找我、要滅我命的,一同抱愧蒙羞!願那些喜悅我受害的,退後受辱!

40:15 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的,因羞愧而敗亡!

40:16 願一切尋求你的,因你高興歡喜!願那些喜愛你救恩的,常說:當尊耶和華為大!

40:17 但我是困苦窮乏的,主仍顧念我;你是幫助我的,搭救我的。 神啊,求你不要耽延!



默想: 以色列人的宗教是一個獻祭的宗教,透過獻祭來使上帝的怒氣消除,回復關係。但是詩人在這裡卻說,上帝不喜悅獻燔祭與贖罪,那麼上帝期望的是什麼?上帝期望的是人心真實的改變,不是出於形式,也是甘心樂意過著一種順服的生命。上帝所著重的,不是我們在祭壇上獻上什麼,而是我們在生活中,活出什麼,我們是否樂意照著上帝的旨意行?是否將上帝的公義存在我們心中?是否活出上帝的慈愛與誠實?這些離開祭壇所做的事,遠遠勝於在祭壇上所獻上的物品。
題目: 根據詩篇四十篇,耶和華不喜悅燔祭與贖罪祭,請問耶和華喜悅的為何?

40:3 他使我口唱新歌,就是讚美我們 神的話。許多人必看見而懼怕,並要倚靠耶和華。

40:4 那倚靠耶和華、不理會狂傲和偏向虛假之輩的,這人便為有福!

Blessed is that man that maketh the LORD his trust, and respecteth not the proud, nor such as turn aside to lies.
40:5 耶和華我的 神啊,你所行的奇事,並你向我們所懷的意念甚多,不能向你陳明。若要陳明,其事不可勝數。

Many, O LORD my God, are thy wonderful works which thou hast done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them , they are more than can be numbered. they cannot...: or, none can order them unto thee
40:6 祭物和禮物,你不喜悅;你已經開通我的耳朵。燔祭和贖罪祭非你所要。

I delight to do thy will, O my God: yea, thy law is within my heart. within...: Heb. in the midst of my bowels
40:9 我在大會中宣傳公義的佳音;我必不止住我的嘴唇。耶和華啊,這是你所知道的。

I have preached righteousness in the great congregation: lo, I have not refrained my lips, O LORD, thou knowest.
40:10 我未曾把你的公義藏在心裡;我已陳明你的信實和你的救恩;我在大會中未曾隱瞞你的慈愛和誠實。

I have not hid thy righteousness within my heart; I have declared thy faithfulness and thy salvation: I have not concealed thy lovingkindness and thy truth from the great congregation.
40:11 耶和華啊,求你不要向我止住你的慈悲!願你的慈愛和誠實常常保佑我!

Withhold not thou thy tender mercies from me, O LORD: let thy lovingkindness and thy truth continually preserve me.
40:12 因有無數的禍患圍困我,我的罪孽追上了我,使我不能昂首;這罪孽比我的頭髮還多,我就心寒膽戰。

For innumerable evils have compassed me about: mine iniquities have taken hold upon me, so that I am not able to look up; they are more than the hairs of mine head: therefore my heart faileth me. falleth: Heb. forsaketh
40:13 耶和華啊,求你開恩搭救我!耶和華啊,求你速速幫助我!

Be pleased, O LORD, to deliver me: O LORD, make haste to help me.
40:14 願那些尋找我、要滅我命的,一同抱愧蒙羞!願那些喜悅我受害的,退後受辱!

Let them be ashamed and confounded together that seek after my soul to destroy it; let them be driven backward and put to shame that wish me evil.
40:15 願那些對我說阿哈、阿哈的,因羞愧而敗亡!

Let all those that seek thee rejoice and be glad in thee: let such as love thy salvation say continually, The LORD be magnified.
40:17 但我是困苦窮乏的,主仍顧念我;你是幫助我的,搭救我的。 神啊,求你不要耽延!

But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God.
